| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| the capacity to do work. | energy |
| the energy of an object due to the objects motion. | kinetic energy |
| the formula for kinetic energy. | ke = mv2/2 |
| the energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object. | potential energy |
| the amount of work an object can do because of the object's kinetic and potential energies. | mechanical energy |
| a kinetic energy that is due to the random motion of particles that make up an object. | thermal energy |
| the energy of a compound that changes as its atoms are rearranged. | chemical energy |
| the energy of moving electons. | electrical energy |
| the energy of matter vibrating back and forth and moving through a medium by waves. | sound energy |
| energy produced by the vibrations of electrically charge particles called photons. | light energy |
| the energy that comes from the changes in the nucleus of an atom. | nuclear energy |
| energy that comes from joining atoms. | nuclear fusion |
| energy that comes from the splitting of atoms. | nuclear fission |
| equation for gravitational potential energy. | GPE = w x h |
| by lifting an object a certain height the object gains this energy by its ability to fall towards the Earth. | gravitational potential energy |
